The information about this property was provided by Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group and this acquisition shows the results that can be achieved through collaboration with the aforesaid Group. As announced in the press release dated November 28, 2008, “Notice Concerning Partial Changes in Investment Policy,” Hankyu REIT has partially changed its investment policy to enable investment in hotels. Also, with the decision to acquire this property, we have made the following assessments: (i) Location Conditions The property is a brand new hotel for business travelers, which was completed in September 2008 and open for business in October. It is approx. 5 minutes walking distance from JR Tamachi Station and approx. 7 minutes walking distance from the Mita subway station. From Mita Station, it is possible to 1 reach Haneda Airport in 30 minutes via the Toei Asakusa Line which connects directly to Keikyu Line. Also, JR Shinagawa Station, an access point on the Tokaido Shinkansen, is just one stop from JR Tamachi Station, making the hotel very convenient for business travelers from anywhere in Japan. The property was developed as a redevelopment project of the site of the former Shibaura Campus of Shibaura Institute of Technology. In April 2009, a new urban block, “Shibaura RENASITE," which will become three urban-block zones comprised of the property and the adjacent university and office building, is scheduled to be inaugurated. After this occurs, the function that the property will provide the city into the future, is expected to come into greater play. (ii) Property Characteristics The property is a hotel for business travelers with a total of 216 rooms, mostly single, each exceeding 15m2. Moreover, Fujita Kanko Inc., the hotel’s operator, has given the hotel the newly released hotel brand “Gracery.” The Gracery brand is one rank higher than the existing “Washington Hotels” brand. It is expected to perform well due to its competitive strength as a hotel for business travelers that is one rank higher in facility grade. The property, with respect to contract format and tenants, conforms to the Hankyu REIT’s investment policy on hotels that was partially revised on November 28, 2008. 3.
